There are some cool aspects to playing online, especially when you have a couple of buddies talking smack in your ear about how their 1UP score just kicked your score's ass. Black Box wisely made the career progression persistent whether playing online or off, so there's no reason why you shouldn't hop into a challenge when a buddy invites you to do so. Just about every challenge in the game can be played online. Thankfully the team mechanic pays dividends online more so than off. Sadly Skate 3's team dynamics don't extend much further than simply giving you a few buddies building your score for you. It's a bit of a shame that unique team activities (something separate from the usual challenge types) weren't crafted to really leverage the fact that you have friendly skateboarders with you for the first time in the series. Sometimes you'll have to pull off the longest jump, others are as simple as attaining the highest score as a team. My favorites are the team contests that pit your squad against another in multiple rounds of skateboarding, each with a different rule set. Thankfully Black Box (the developers) included plenty of challenges to go around, so there are enough team activities to keep most happy. Most of the time you're completing challenges like Own The Spot (or Lot), Deathraces, Hall of Meat (you can now turn Hall of Meat mode on which assigns a score to every bail you make), and other solo affairs. 3 tries to give players a sense of camaraderie with both AI and real human players that can join up on your skating team.
For newbies to the series, I'd say this is the one to purchase, because there's a ton of cool skateboarding to be had, but if you took the plunge on the first two Skates, you might want to wait for the next iteration.
#Skate 3 xbox one december update
Skate 3 has fallen victim to the symptoms of a yearly update with small improvements that are devoid of any one feature for the game to hang its hat on. Yearly updates translate into less development time on the features that blow everyone's mind and more time spent applying incremental improvements across several smaller, less substantive areas of the game.

The words "updated yearly" are scary for diehard fans of any series to hear.
